This is my first post, so please excuse the ramblings.
My gentle husband, soulmate and best friend of 44+ years died January 2024 and I found the 2nd anniversary just as hard as the first.
I mentioned it to a close family member, who was present when John passed away at home,
but shocked to be informed that they do not acknowledge ' Death Days or Birthdays'
My feelings were not acknowledged and I admit the hurt ran deep - never having heard the term Death Days before.
Respecting that everyone has the right to their opinion and we all deal with things differently,
I'm struggling to maintain the daily messages of support his daughter expects -
I would value any opinion to help me get through this .. good bad or ugly .. I'm struggling
